Meetup: Social Events & Groups

Our take

Meetup solves an actual problem, finding people who share a specific interest and getting into a room with them, that most social apps only pretend to solve. It’s not flashy and the interface has aged, which probably explains the middling rating relative to how useful the core idea remains. Worth having if you’re actually trying to build a local hobby network rather than just chat with strangers.
